Dr. Sean Montgomery and the VFD

(Dr. Sean Montgomery) Yes. Hello, my name is Dr. Sean Montgomery. I’m a consulting Feedlot Nutritionist based out of Nebraska. I work for an independent consulting firm Corn Belt Livestock Services and I’m here at Kansas State Stocker Days to talk about how the upcoming veterinary feed directive or VFD that’s going to be enacted the first of 2017. How it might impact our clients, therefore I’m here to talk about some nutritional practices as well as the management practices to help I guess allow us not to have to rely on an antibiotic for the growth claims of these medically important antibiotics. We’re here just to talk about some of the nutritional and management practices to help counteract that. Yes, that’s what I’m here for.
